Travelers Demand Safe Food

Travelers trust tour operators with their health and safety. Cocina Verify provides tour operators with the vital information they need regarding food safety in the restaurants and hotels to which they take their customers.

Tour Operators Need Safe Food Options

Reduce your company’s risk while increasing confidence and trust among your suppliers and customers. Taking customers to restaurants or hotels based upon online reviews, ground operator opinions, or a local’s recommendation, may increase your liability.

Cocina Verify Bridges the Gap

Serve as a beacon of trust and confidence for your suppliers and customers to rely on. Set your company apart by requiring the hotels and restaurants that your tours visit be Cocina Verify certified and thus following the One Standard for Food Safety.

The Cocina Verify™ website serves as the definitive source to validate what restaurants are currently active and participating in the program. If the restaurant claims to be Cocina Verify™ listed, but is not found on the website, they are not currently participating in the program.
